Community Caregivers hosts open house on March 22

GUILDERLAND — Community Caregivers announces its first Spring Open House, “Meet Community Caregivers,” on Thursday, March 22, from 4 to 6 p.m.

The open house will take place at the Community Caregivers’ office at 2021 Western Ave, Suite 104, in Guilderland.

A not-for-profit organization, the Community Caregivers harnesses the expertise and energy of volunteers to  provide non-medical services, including transportation and caregiver support, at no charge to residents of Guilderland, Bethlehem, Altamont, New Scotland, Berne, Knox and the city of Albany.

“We welcome those interested in learning about our ‘neighbor helping neighbor’ services for themselves or a loved one,” said Acting Director Larry Miller in a release from the Caregivers. “We have resources and volunteer services to support family caregivers.

“We also welcome prospective volunteers to stop in to pick up volunteer information and sign up for a springtime orientation. And, we invite community members who are thinking about what it takes to live at home as they grow older.”

The open house will offer information about local efforts for “aging in place” and the nationwide and fast-growing Village Movement.

Light refreshments will be served and helpful and information about local resources will be distributed. Experienced staff members will be on hand to answer questions.

Call 518-456-2898 for more information or for directions to the open house.
